Long Island Picture Frame & Art Gallery of Oyster Bay

Come discover the art behind the stories and see Dr. Seuss as you’ve never seen him before.
DISCOVER THE ART OF DR. SEUSS
A Special Exhibition During Oyster Festival Weekend
Presented by Long Island Picture Frame &amp; Art Gallery – Oyster Bay
Step inside the wonderfully imaginative world of Dr. Seuss for an extraordinary exhibition celebrating the art, characters, and creativity of Theodor Seuss Geisel.
EVENT SCHEDULE
VIP Reception Friday, October 16 | 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Public Exhibition Saturday, October 17 | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Sunday, October 18 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
FREE ADMISSION • ALL ARTWORK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
A WORLD BEYOND THE BOOKS
Discover a vibrant collection of serigraphs, mixed-media works, and fine art on paper and canvas, featuring beloved characters including The Grinch, The Cat in the Hat, Sunbathing Bird, and many more.
The exhibition also offers a fascinating glimpse into The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss—the remarkable private artwork Geisel created for himself, away from the pages of his famous books.
Explore his wildly imaginative Unorthodox Taxidermy, including such fantastical creations as the Carbonic Walrus, Powerless Puffer, and Kangaroo Bird.
SPECIAL GUEST
Jeff Schuffman Director of The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection
Guests will have the opportunity to discover the stories behind the artwork and experience a side of Dr. Seuss that many have never seen.
THE CAT BEHIND THE HAT
Ted Geisel often portrayed himself as “The Cat Behind the Hat,” a playful alter ego that appeared throughout his private art, advertising, and editorial work.
Although his artwork was highly sought after during his lifetime, Geisel never released limited-edition fine art. In 1997, six years after his passing, his artistic legacy was formally introduced to collectors, revealing Dr. Seuss as not only a literary icon, but a remarkably original visual artist.
Each work in the collection is authorized by the Dr. Seuss estate and faithfully adapted from Geisel’s original artwork.
OYSTER FESTIVAL WEEKEND - EXPERIENCE SOMETHING UNEXPECTED
Whimsical. Imaginative. Sophisticated. And unmistakably Seuss.
Whether you grew up with The Cat in the Hat, love The Grinch, or are discovering Dr. Seuss as a fine artist for the first time, this is an exhibition for collectors, families, and Seuss fans of every generation.
Come discover the art behind the stories—and see Dr. Seuss as you’ve never seen him before.

Wahooo Market

“Growing up, I held a Halloween party for my friends every year. Now, I’m holding that party in our store.” — John Cronin
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and John is throwing a party. (Yes, the same John who founded <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">John’s Crazy Socks</a>) With no Village-wide trick-or-treat this year, we’re opening our doors for a safe, fun Halloween for children of all ages, and for grown-ups who still love a good costume. Admission is free, everyone is welcome, and we’re indoors, so the party goes on rain or shine.
<h2>Costume Contests</h2>
Come in costume and enter our costume contests. We have two: one for kids under 12, and one for teens and adults. Stop by any time between 11 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to have your costume photographed. Then John and his team will review every entry and announce the winners at 3:15 p.m., right after the dance party. Each winner takes home a box of socks!
<h2>John’s Monster Mash Dance Party</h2>
At 2:30 p.m., John takes over the dance floor. If you’ve ever seen John dance, you know you don’t want to miss this. Expect Halloween classics, plenty of the Monster Mash, and lots of happy people.
<h2>Fun for the Kids</h2>
•Halloween crafts
•Spooky Chalk the Walk
•Ring toss
•Candy, plus non-candy treats
We’re proud to be a Teal Pumpkin stop this year. Our non-candy treats mean kids with food allergies can join in too. Look for the teal pumpkin out front.
<h2>A Halloween for Everyone</h2>
We believe everyone should get to enjoy Halloween. Before the party begins, we’re hosting a Sensory Halloween from 11 a.m. to noon: lower music, smaller crowds, and a calmer pace for families who prefer a lower-key visit. You’ll also meet our Sock Wranglers, many of whom have differing abilities, dressed up in their own costumes, of course.
<h2>Wear a Costume, Save 10%</h2>
Come in costume and get 10 percent off everything in the store. It’s a great time to pick up Halloween socks, gifts, and treats. Every purchase helps us create jobs for people with differing abilities. (Discount available in our Huntington store only.)
